When dealing with string layouts I tend to go to
string formatting...

>>> d= {'a':"alpha",'b':"beta"}
>>> ' '.join(['{} "{}"'.format(k,v) for k,v in d.items()])
'a "alpha" b "beta"'
>>>

Or using old C style formatting, it's very slightly shorter:

>>> ' '.join(['%s "%s"'% (k,v) for k,v in d.items()])
'a "alpha" b "beta"'
